Fuck Subscriptions

Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

I'll take youtube music revanced. Installed more than a year ago, never updated since then. Logged in with Google account and still works fine.

Can you tell me what that is?

YouTube Music Premium for free. Make sure you go to https://revanced.app and not any other site, because the rest are fakes.

(FYI you have to compile it yourself but just follow the instructions. It's really easy.)

A cracked version of the YouTube music premium app. There is also a normal YouTube revanced app, but that one doesn't work that good anymore for me.
